Chapter 136: Local Chronicles

Su Yuancheng was still counting the things to prepare with his fingers, and he had to go back to Anping Village to say hello to everyone, and so on, when he turned around, he found that Wei Zhao had already gone back, so he hurriedly trotted a few steps to chase in, but Wei Zhao was already busy.

He looked at the sky outside, the warm velvet sunshine, and he didn't know when the so-called catastrophe would come, but before the catastrophe came, he should still go to Daddy Fang's place to have a look.

When the glass is fired, it is naturally to be sold, and Wei Zhao has long known that this thing can make a lot of money, so as soon as it is burned, he sent Liang Zhifu and Lu Tongju two percent of each share, and hugged his thighs tightly, in case someone took a fancy to the interests of the glass and made an obstruction from it.

Now that he is the number one leader in the Luoxiang Mansion, he is waiting to make a fortune.

Su Yuancheng hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the west of the city to discuss things with Father Fang, while Wei Zhao went to find Doctor Wang.

It has been almost 20 years since Dr. Wang returned to Luoxiang Mansion, but he had heard about the incident 30 years ago, but he did not know whether there had been a similar situation before, and the incident 30 years ago alone could not prove the relationship between the later catastrophe and the warm winter.

"However, this kind of thing is generally recorded in the local chronicles of various places, so it is better for you to go to the prefect and ask to see if you can find any rules from the local chronicles."

Doctor Wang and several other doctors were not sure that there would be a catastrophe after the warm winter, so they could only suggest that Wei Zhao go to the prefect to find the answer.

Wei Zhao nodded, for the sake of today, he can only go to the yamen to see, if what the old man said is true, he must prepare a little earlier to deal with the future disaster.

Liang Zhifu was reading a book in the study of the back house, and when he heard that Wei Zhao asked to see him, he asked him to take him to the study.

"Local history?" Hearing that he wanted to read the local chronicles, Governor Liang was very surprised.

Wei Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, according to what the old man said, such abnormal weather has occurred many times before, and it should be recorded in the local chronicles, maybe we can check whether it is true, and then find out what rules there are, and take precautions in advance." ”

When Governor Liang heard this, he got up, and hurriedly said outside: "Tianhe, go and ask someone to take the local records of the past years..."

The heavenly river at the door should go.

Governor Liang said: "This official has also heard about the events of thirty years ago, but he has always thought that it was just a coincidence, could it be that it is really related?" ”

Wei Zhao nodded, "The causes of abnormal weather are very complex, and most of them are large-scale, for example, compared with previous years, suddenly rainy, suddenly drought, suddenly cold and warm, all of which are weather anomalies, which itself is a kind of disaster, and some abnormalities also indicate that there will be a series of disasters afterward, so if we can know the law of this anomaly and find a corresponding method, we may be able to prevent it in advance and avoid greater losses." ”

If the cause of the weather anomaly really wants to be explained, it has to be explained from astronomy, geography, man-made, many aspects, and it will not be clear for a while, and no one can understand what solar radiation, tidal movement, plate movement, and rotation of the earth are.

Tianhe moved quickly, and after a while, he and a few officials in the yamen came in with two large boxes, followed by a scribe from the yamen.

"My lord, this is the local history of Luoxiang Mansion for nearly a hundred years, I don't know what the adults are going to do?" After the scribe entered the door, he saluted the Liang prefect's mansion and asked.

Wei Zhao opened the box and saw two large boxes full of books, neatly stacked at the bottom of the box, baring his teeth, so many, I have to see when to go!

"If you go and call a few more people, be sure to read these books before tonight, find out the year in which the weather is abnormal, and the major events that happened in the local area in the following year, and record them." Wei Zhao saw Governor Liang looking at him, and hurriedly said.

The scribe looked at the Liang prefect's mansion and saw that he nodded, so he went out to call someone.

Wei Zhao took a few books from the box, found a chair to sit down, and looked through them.

He took the top layer, which is the record of recent years, and this year's record was also sent, there are not too many records about the abnormal weather, but it is said that there is less rain in summer, but Wei Zhao noticed that in this year's record, there is a piece about Luofengzhai looting a rich family in Yuping Village, and the government sent troops to suppress bandits, his calm face was full of hatred for a moment, his fists were clenched, and he almost crumpled the book in his hand.

Fortunately, he stabilized his mood in time, changed to a new one, and continued to look at it.

The scribe called eight or nine people to help, Liang Zhifu, as well as Tianhe, and Sui Feng also looked through a few books each, and finally read all the records before dark.

Wei Zhao asked them to hand him what they had recorded, flipped through it, and then put it on the table, with a solemn face, clasped their hands, and lowered their eyes in contemplation.

"Well, is there any pattern?" Liang Zhifu took the paper and looked down.

Wei Zhao rubbed his wrist and took another sip of the herbal tea on the table, and then said, "It seems that the situation is indeed not optimistic." ”

In the local chronicles of more than 100 years, there have been three times in the warm winter of Luoxiang Mansion, once a hundred years ago, the whole winter was warmer than in previous years, and the next year, there was a drought, there was no rain all summer, and at the same time there was an outbreak of locust plague, which led to a famine in Luoxiang Mansion, many people died, and there was a plague.

The second time was more than 80 years ago, only more than ten years before the first warm winter, just recuperated and rejuvenated, Luoxiang Mansion suffered another flood, heavy rain fell for half a month, farmland was flooded, the river flooded, and the water receded and floated corpses everywhere.

The third time was more than 30 years ago, and it was not warm for the whole winter, but it was warm for more than a month, and it suddenly cooled, freezing three feet, and the snow became a disaster, and then there was an earthquake the next year.

At this time, people rarely live long, the first two warm winters, the people who have experienced them have basically died, so many people do not know the previous things, only remember the last warm winter, and people do not associate the later earth movement with the warm winter of the previous year.

Wei Zhao has seen other records, such as one summer, it suddenly became cold, and it rained several hailstorms, but no other disasters happened again.

There was also a year of ground movement, but it was not serious, and there were no other anomalies before the ground movement.

So there is no necessary connection between abnormal weather and catastrophes, but after a warm winter, there are other disasters, and they are not necessarily disasters.

Wei Zhao rubbed his forehead, he had a headache, he told Governor Liang about the situation, and the other people present also frowned after hearing this, glanced at each other, and then looked at Wei Zhao.

"Doctor Wei, since there will really be a catastrophe after the warm winter, how can we prevent it? Who knows what the catastrophe will be after this warm winter? ”

Wei Zhao lowered his head, and after a while, he straightened out his thoughts and said, "No matter what the disaster, make an emergency plan, this is always the same." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone's eyes lit up, looking at him expectantly, waiting for his later words.
